Being ill is absolutely no fun. If it’s a certain degree of bad, it will make you feel like you can’t see or speak to anyone. You just want to crawl into a deep dark hole until you’re fully rested and healed again. You don’t want to get out of bed. You don’t want to …

‘Set boundaries quickly’: Boss continuously texts worker while they’re taking PTO despite worker leaving behind comprehensive documents
In the words of Rhett and Link, «Everything’s okay, ‘cause I’m on vacation.» Or so it should be. We all need time off every now and then so we don’t lose our minds. Rest is just as important, if not more important, than work. We need space and time to ourselves so we can feed …

‘That’s not only inappropriate, it’s just plain weird’: Boss barges into employee’s bathroom to get them after a 1 minute break from a company meeting
Finish the phrase, «The boss makes a dollar, and I make a dime, that’s why…» You know it. It’s a decades-old phrase for a reason. It’s an axiom that workers have abided by since the Industrial Revolution (maybe). When you’ve gotta go, you’ve gotta go, and nothing can stop you from it. Being in charge …

‘How about you hand me 10,000 bucks? Then I’ll smile from ear to ear’: Janitor struggling with financial issues is criticized for not smiling on the job
One of the most annoying things you can hear is «Why don’t you smile more?» No sentence in the English language is less likely to make me smile. Smiling should be an involuntary reaction. You’re happy. You’re spending time with someone you love. You’re listening to a good song. You’re in a good mood and …

‘The guy is a manbaby’: Man gets coworker the wrong candy for Secret Santa despite coworker saying he liked ‘anything sweet,’ faces the disdain of the entire office
The point of Secret Santa is that it’s low-key. It’s not a formal gift exchange, but rather a fun way to exchange (usually small) gifts and add a little bit of mystery to it. I used to do one with my high school friend group, and we’d usually give each other gag gifts, just so …

Employee bristles at workplace’s demand for entire team’s Spotify Wrapped data as a form of corporate team-building: ‘What if someone just has unorthodox tastes that they’d rather not share’
Music can be incredibly personal. We use music to get us through hard times, reinforce our senses of identity, and explore parts of ourselves that can only be accessed through a good song. If you’re a certain kind of music listener, your music history is just as much an expression of yourself as a diary …

Working husband threatens to divorce unemployed stay-at-home wife after she forgot to make him lunch before he left for 2-week long work trip: ‘I gave her an ultimatum; she had one month to become a proper homemaker’
So many marriages start to falter when one partner isn’t bringing enough to the table. I see so many online testimonies from moms who work full-time, do all the housework, and take care of the kids without any help from their husbands. At that point, it’s much easier to be a single mom instead of …

December may be a month that is home to a lot of seasonal slacking off, but the fact is that everyone with a full time job still has to turn up, clock in, and act like they’re doing something until those long-awaited holidays roll around. While more often than not, the true responsibilities can wait …

Horse caretaker gets fired over text after confirming they can work the upcoming weekend: ‘This kind of business needs to be shut down’
There is no perfect way to fire someone. You can put it in all the cushioned language you want, but the truth will remain hard to swallow. Unless they’re actively trying to get fired (à la George Costanza), odds are the person you’re firing would rather stay on than have to find a new job. …
